money cures everything

who would have thought that a 1.5L engine could make 1300hp on 100 octane fuel? (F1 cars)

Whoa, my bad..shit how could i forget that?

*slaps himself in the head*

Who could forget Berger with the 1300hp BMW handgrenades! Best F1 engine eva...over the course of 1 qualifying lap...:down:

Its America, who tunes GTRs over there? Are they tuneable yet? you cant even import the things.. Hands down to the money put into that civic tho.

Its Singapore. I saw 1 on the road when I went back for holiday in March this year. I heard from my friend its going for around 300k SGD which is works out to be roughly 240AUD

LOL @ Sore losers

GTR got destroyed in the end...wasnt even a contest..

To me I think its just a vid for fun. Its more like Mod vs Un-mod. The boost of the gtr wasnt brought up and that civic is like 0.5tonne lighter with same power. Not surprising for the win at all but the engine wouldnt last long...

Exactly...teh gtr can lose...lolz

Seriously...i agree it wasn't a fair race...but the close mindedness is shocking...

exactly. remember about 2 seconds ago when someone posted about the GTR Vs Z06 on the corvette forums and everyone is up in arms about how close minded the "yanks" are?

well take a look RIGHT here - the precious "unbeatable" GTR got chopped by a f*kn rice burning front wheel drive civic...which prolly has 2L and 4cyl and "Vtec Power"

who cares if its a fair race..the GTR got destroyed..deal with it...stop being so closeminded because a skyline got destroyed by a lil jap hatchback..

The question is not whether the comparison was fair or not... is it interesting??? Yes!

Does it give a little perspective??? Uhuh!

Does a heavy supercar killer like the GTR35 make some compromises for luxury and pride of ownership??? Yes, they all do, to a greater or lesser degree! Power divided by weight = speed! (roughly speaking)

Am I biased??? Uhuh, I love Hondas!

Should a diehard GTR lover appreciate the obtuse end of the automotive envelope? I think so!

FWD 4 cyl Honda drag cars are in the 7's, and the FWD record holder, as far as I'm aware, is quicker than the world's fastest GTR... (see times in above link) Not bad from 2.2L...

Its Singapore. I saw 1 on the road when I went back for holiday in March this year. I heard from my friend its going for around 300k SGD which is works out to be roughly 240AUD

yeah i was gonna say that vid was from Singapore.

LOL at all the america haters who posted previously..

i hear that there is a thread on oz honda about the video too :blink:

Oh f**kin hell...we'll never hear the end of this one...

Kinda sad really..

" YEAH! GTR suxorz man! Got pwned by teh Vtech yo!! Civic for the TMFW, !!lty!!!11!"

who cares what it laps.. its a drag race.. thats it buddy. straight line only..

and our beloved gtr got owned.. im dealing with it.. why arent u???

props to the civic owner... well built machine

Oh f**kin hell...we'll never hear the end of this one...

Kinda sad really..

" YEAH! GTR suxorz man! Got pwned by teh Vtech yo!! Civic for the TMFW, !!lty!!!11!"

no not really, the thread was created by me, and then was deleted by a mod. Don't worry the Honda guys didnt say anything just wow :blink:

lol why is people all serious about this, its only a video for fun.

because at the end of the day... more money = a faster car, its not about the cars itself, its how much your willing to dump into a car

Edited by Charles89

Pretty insane in all aspects.

Hey I'm not a Honda lover, but to say they used an R35 GTR as a benchmark, that is a sign of respect to us GTR worshippers anyway. So kudos to the tuner.

Put it this way, how do all the Porsche 911 Turbo owners feel when we buy a Nissan GTR and have bragging rights to setting a quicker time at Nurburgring???

Seriously grow up and cop it like mutherphucking men!

who cares if its a fair race..the GTR got destroyed..deal with it...stop being so closeminded because a skyline got destroyed by a lil jap hatchback..

I can't help it... I hate hatchbacks (except the subaru 1800, well thats more of a wagon) LOL :( .

I don't mind if its a Honda (or even hyundai... well maybe a little...) that pwned a GT-R... but why couldn't it be a sedan instead of a hatch.

Now if only someone could tune my Camry to pwn a R35, then I'm happy.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
